Chords

As recorded by The Everly Brothers (From the 1968 Album ROOTS) [Intro] D [Verse 1]

D
Clean Prairie winds blow from Rockford to Cairo

D
Over the cornfields that gleam in the sun

D
And off in the east glow, the lights of Chicago

D
When daylight is ended and night has begun

       C               D
In Illinois, Illinois

[Verse 2]

D
The skyline, the stockyard

D
The Gold coast, the grain fields

D
Chicago, the giant, that leads all the rest

D
Chicago where trains roll, into the station

D
The heart of the nation, the start of the West

       C              D
In Illinois, Illinois

       C
In Illinois, Illinois

[Bridge]

G            D
Blue haze of winter

Bm             A
Hangs over the Prairie

G                      D
Feel the soft winds of spring

      A                  D
Chase the chill from the air

[Verse 3]

D
Bright August morning

D
When the warm summer rains falls

D
And brisk autumn days

D
With a harvest to share

       C
In Illinois, Illinois

C
Illinois, Illinois

[Outro] D G D
